              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

(A)      ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
----------------------------------

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Global
Beverage Solutions, Inc. ("Global") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Beverage
Network of Maryland, Inc. ("BNM"), Aqua Maestro, Inc. ("AM") and Rudy Beverage,
Inc. ("Rudy") (until its sale in May 2007) (collectively the "Company"). The
Company distributes imported bottled water and alternative or "New Age"
beverages through BNM and AM. The Company's strategy is to develop and acquire
bottled water and "New Age" beverage brands. "New Age" beverages include
non-carbonated ready-to-drink iced teas, lemonades, juice cocktails, single
serve juices, ready-to-drink iced coffees, energy drinks, sports drinks, soy
drinks, natural bottled water and sodas as well as sparkling juices. The Company
believes that the combined distribution and customer base of its two
subsidiaries provides an established platform from which to acquire and develop
brands. Additionally, strategic opportunities may exist to acquire and further
develop existing distribution platforms.

Aqua Maestro, Inc. is based in Boca Raton, Florida and imports and sells bottled
water through a company-owned distribution center to retailers and consumers in
south Florida, direct to retailers outside of south Florida, direct to consumers
through its website at www.aquamaestro.com and to third party distributors.

Beverage Network of Maryland, Inc. is a New Age beverage distributor based in
Jessup, Maryland which distributes brands such as Welch's to retailers in
Washington, DC, northern Virginia, and the entire state of Maryland.

Our business strategy involves growing the third party branded revenue base in
each of these entities while developing and/or acquiring bottled water or New
Age beverage brands. Thus, through these entities we plan to sell our own
proprietary brands as well as third party brands.

On October 10, 2005, the Company changed its name to Global Beverage Solutions,
Inc. and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol GBVS.OB.
Beginning with the original incorporation on January 29, 1977, the Company has
had several name changes, including, Mercury Software, MedEx Corp., Aussie
Apparel Group, Ltd., Bluetorch, Inc., Pacific Crest Investments and Pacific Peak
Investments.

(B)      CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
---------------------------------------

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the
Company and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and
pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X without audit. Except as discussed below under "Operation as a
BDC" and disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company's
December 31, 2007 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. However, the Form 10-K was
not on a consolidated basis due to the Company's business development company
("BDC") reporting status and the March 31, 2008 Form 10-Q is on a consolidated
basis as the Company is no longer a BDC. As discussed under "Operation as a BDC"
below, the December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 amounts disclosed in this 10-Q
have been retrospectively applied to be comparable with the March 31, 2008
amounts. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, and the results of
operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2007 audited
financial statements on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full years.

(C)      OPERATION AS A BDC
---------------------------

On June 19, 2003, the Company filed a Form N-54A with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act").

On October 2, 2007, the Company reported in a Definitive Information Statement
on Schedule 14C that a majority of its shareholders approved and authorized the
Board to withdraw the Company's election to be treated as a BDC under the 1940
Act. On January 2, 2008, the Company filed a Form N-54C to withdraw its election
to be regulated as a BDC and as of that date, is no longer a BDC under the 1940
Act. The Company is no longer a BDC with unconsolidated majority-owned portfolio
companies but rather will be a distributor of imported bottled water and
alternative or "New Age" beverages through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries,
BNM and AM.

As a result of the Company's conversion from a BDC to a beverage distributor,
the change in accounting is considered a change in reporting entity. Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 154, "Accounting for Changes and Error
Correction," requires that a change in reporting entity be retrospectively
applied to all prior periods presented. Accordingly, the Company's financial
statements are presented on an operating and consolidated basis for all current
and prior periods presented on a retrospective basis without regard to the BDC
method of accounting. The Company does not believe that withdrawing its election
to be regulated as a BDC will have any impact on its federal income tax status,
because the Company never elected to be treated as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Instead, the Company
has always been subject to corporate level federal income tax on its income as a
regular corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code.

(D)      RECLASSIFICATIONS
--------------------------

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements to conform to the current period presentation.

(E)      GOING CONCERN
----------------------

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
business. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has an accumulated deficit of
$35,328,582 and had net losses totaling $720,673 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008. Additionally, as of March 31, 2008, the Company had total
current assets of $1,101,713 and had total current liabilities of $8,416,496.
The Company intends to engage in private placement offerings from time to time
to provide it with working capital to pay down certain of its debt obligations,
for other general corporate and operations uses, and to enable the Company to
pursue our strategy to develop and acquire bottled water and New Age beverage
brands and distribution platforms. In the event that the Company cannot obtain
additional funds when needed, it may be forced to renegotiate some or all of its
debt and curtail or cease some or all of its activities.

The Company's subsidiaries are projected to be profitable in 2008 and did have
$10,586 in earnings during the first quarter of 2008; however, they will require
approximately $400,000 in additional funding for inventory and working capital
to achieve profitability. In addition, the Company will require over $4,000,000
to meet its debt service requirements and approximately $600,000 to meet its
corporate overhead.

Although the Company believes it will be successful with its plans, due to
market factors and economic conditions, no assurance can be given that financing
will be available to the Company on favorable terms or at all.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.


(2)      ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

BEVERAGE NETWORK OF MARYLAND, INC.
----------------------------------
On February 23, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of BNM from XStream
Beverage Network, Inc. ("XStream"). The transaction was structured as a merger
of BNM into the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Global Merger Corp., a Nevada
corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between the parties
dated January 31, 2007, and as amended and completed on February 23, 2007.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Based in Jessup, Maryland, BNM engages in the distribution of beverages in the
Mid-Atlantic States.

As a part of the transaction, the Company issued 60,500,000 shares of its common
stock and a $2,000,000 note payable to XStream. At closing, the Company paid
$229,000 on the note and pursuant to the agreements was required to pay a
percentage of any subsequent cash proceeds received from subsequent raises of
equity capital to reduce the note balance.

AQUA MAESTRO, INC. ("AM")
-------------------------
On March 29, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of AM from the
shareholders of AM. The transaction was structured as a merger of AM into the
Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Global Beverage Acquisition Corp., a Florida
corporation, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization
between the parties dated March 29, 2007.

With its business office in Boca Raton, Florida and logistics in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, AM is engaged in the wholesale and retail distribution of
domestic and imported bottled water, comprising forty-four brands and over one
hundred-seventy different items. Its wholesale client base is across North
America and the Caribbean, including well-known hotels and resorts. In its
retail home delivery division, AM provides its products through its Internet
site aquamaestro.com.

Consideration for the acquisition of AM included $500,000 in cash, 10,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock and an earn-out. The cash was payable
$300,000 at closing and the balance in equal monthly installments of $22,222
beginning April 15, 2007. The earn-out is a percentage of defined gross profit
equal to 10% of calendar 2008 gross profit, 5% of calendar 2009 gross profit and
3% of calendar 2010 gross profit. In accordance with SFAS 141, additional cost
will not be recognized until the earn-out amount is determinable.

The acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and,
accordingly, the condensed consolidated statements of operations include the
results of BNM beginning February 23, 2007 and AM beginning March 29, 2007. The
assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair values
as determined by the Company's management based on information currently
available and on current assumptions as to future operations. A summary of the
estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
acquisitions follows:

</TABLE>


    (1)  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 8%,
         one-year secured convertible promissory notes payable ("Convertible
         Notes") to a group of investors in the aggregate amount of $1,335,000.
         The notes were convertible into restricted common shares at an initial
         rate of $.50 per share. Management has determined that these notes
         qualify as conventional convertible debt pursuant to APB No. 14,
         "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase
         Warrants" and EITF 98-5, "Accounting for Convertible Securities with
         Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion
         Ratios," accordingly the embedded conversion option is not a
         derivative. The Company computed an intrinsic value of the beneficial
         conversion of $538,000 based on the quoted stock price on the grant
         dates. The beneficial conversion feature was credited to additional
         paid-in capital and charged to interest expense when the agreement
         commenced since the Convertible Notes could be converted when issued.

                                       13
<PAGE>

         The Convertible Notes include certain anti-dilutive provisions, such as
         an adjustment for stock splits and business combinations, adjustment
         for common stock dividends and distributions, adjustment for issuance
         of additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the
         initial conversion price, and issuance of common stock equivalents at a
         price per share less than the initial conversion price.

         As of December 31, 2007, Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal
         amount of $1,326,000 are in default as the interest due, commencing
         November 1, 2006, has not been paid. The default rate of interest of
         12% is in effect for these Convertible Notes and is included in accrued
         expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

         As of February 13, 2008, the Convertible Notes were convertible into
         common stock at the rate of $0.00675 per share as a result of the
         conversion of $31,000 principal of the note discussed in (4) below.

    (2)  The collateralized note with XStream required payment of 40% of any
         cash proceeds received by Global from its February 5, 2007 1-E Offering
         with the remainder payable in monthly installments of $25,000
         commencing September 1, 2007. In a Master Security Agreement, Global
         granted XStream a continuing security interest in substantially all of
         its assets as collateral as long as any obligation arising from the
         Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended remained outstanding. In
         addition, pursuant to a Stock Pledge Agreement, the BNM stock owned by
         Global was pledged as additional collateral on the obligations of
         Global to XStream, and BNM guarantees the Global obligations to
         XStream.

         On January 23, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Repurchase
         Agreement with XStream by which we repurchased the 60,500,000 shares of
         our common stock originally issued to XStream. As consideration for the
         purchase, we issued a convertible note in the principal amount of
         $700,000. The convertible note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2%
         and matures on October 31, 2008 and is convertible into shares of our
         common stock as the conversion price specified in the Stock Repurchase
         Agreement with XStream if we default in the repayment of amounts due
         under the convertible note or if we fail to pay $500,000 to Laurus
         Master Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") on or before May 1, 2008 pursuant to the
         letter agreement described in the following paragraph. Global is
         delinquent on the May 1, 2008 payment.

         On January 23, 2008, and in conjunction with the stock repurchase
         described in the previous paragraph, we entered into a letter agreement
         with Laurus and XStream (the "Letter Agreement"). In connection with
         the Letter Agreement, XStream collaterally assigned both a secured
         promissory note that we issued to XStream in connection with our
         purchase of BNM from XStream and the convertible note discussed in the
         preceding paragraph. Under the Letter Agreement, we agreed to pay to
         Laurus $500,000 in repayment of a portion of the outstanding balance of
         the secured note by May 1, 2008. Upon making the $500,000 payment,


                                       14
<PAGE>

         Laurus agreed to release certain liens it has on the inventory of BNM
         and XStream, and Laurus and XStream agreed to terminate the stock
         pledge agreement with respect to the stock of BNM and the master
         security agreement securing collateral on our obligations under the
         secured note.

         Simultaneously, and in conjunction with, the stock repurchase and the
         Letter Agreement discussed above, we entered into a second amendment
         ("Amendment No. 2") to the secured note originally issued to XStream
         and which was part of collateral assigned by XStream to Laurus.
         Amendment No. 2 accelerated the maturity date of the note from March
         31, 2011 to October 31, 2008 and removed the requirement for monthly
         payments of $25,000. The secured note had a principal balance of
         $1,072,453 and accrued interest of $29,079 at December 31, 2007.

    (3)  The Master Distributors note has scheduled monthly payments of $83,333
         for two years; discounted at 12%; penalty provisions require a late
         charge of $5,000 plus interest of 1 1/2% per month for all payments
         made after the 15th of the month; the Company guarantees that the note,
         with a face value of $2,000,000 plus the proceeds from 4,000,000 shares
         of its common stock will equal at least $3,000,000 total; and note is
         past due at December 31, 2007, with $175,000 applied to total scheduled
         principal payments of $833,333. At December 31, 2007, the Company has
         accrued $968,000 as an estimate of this guarantee.

    (4)  On July 6, 2007, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement
         ("Agreement") with a certain accredited investor ("Investor") for the
         private placement of a promissory note ("Note") in the principal amount
         of $259,202 for a purchase price of $233,450. The maturity date of the
         Note is August 31, 2008. Upon the withdrawal of the Company's election
         to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act, the note became convertible
         at the option of the Investor into a number of shares of the Company's
         common stock as determined in accordance with a formula set forth in
         the Agreement (at a conversion rate of 75% of the average of the lowest
         trade price of the common stock during any three business days for the
         ten business day period prior to such conversion election, as reported
         by Bloomberg L.P.).

         In connection with the Agreement, the Company entered into a letter
         agreement with Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC as placement agent,
         pursuant to which the Company paid the placement agent for its
         services, a cash fee of $33,333. In addition, $16,667 is payable within
         120 days of the date of the Agreement either in cash or through the
         issuance of the Company's common stock.

         The Company and the Investor also entered into a Registration Rights
         Agreement ("RRA") pursuant to which the Company has agreed to provide
         certain registration rights with respect to shares of its common stock
         issuable upon the Investor's election to exercise the conversion right
         contained in the Note. Pursuant to the RRA, the Company is required to
         file a Registration Statement no more than 60 days after filing to
         withdraw its election to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and
         is required to have the Registration Statement declared effective no
         more than 75 days after filing the Registration Statement. In the event


                                       15

         the Company does not meet the required dates, the Company would be
         required to pay a cash fee of 1% of the outstanding loan balance for
         each of the first two months the Company is late and 2% for each
         subsequent month the Company is late, and the maximum exposure to the
         Company should be approximately $31,000. This requirement should end
         when the stock can become free trading pursuant to Rule 144.

         A total of $31,000 in principal of this note was converted into
         4,592,593 shares of the Company's common stock on February 13, 2008.

The three discounted notes may be summarized as follows at March 31, 2008 and

(5)      EQUITY

COMMON STOCK:
-------------
The Company is authorized to issue up to 950,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001. There were 159,260,094 shares issued and 98,760,094 shares
outstanding and 60,500,000 shares in treasury at March 31, 2008 and 147,567,501
issued and outstanding at December 31, 2007.

STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT:
---------------------------
On January 23, 2008, we entered into a Stock Repurchase Agreement with XStream
by which we repurchased the 60,500,000 shares of our common stock originally
issued to XStream. As consideration for the purchase, we issued a convertible
note in the principal amount of $700,000 (the "XStream Convertible Note"). The
XStream Convertible Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% and matures on
October 31, 2008. The XStream Convertible Note is convertible into shares of our
common stock as the conversion price specified in the Stock Repurchase Agreement
with XStream if we default in the repayment of amounts due under the XStream
Convertible Note or if we fail to pay $500,000 to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.
("Laurus") on or before May 1, 2008 pursuant to the letter agreement described
in the following paragraph.

On January 23, 2008, and in conjunction with the stock repurchase described in
the previous paragraph, we entered into a letter agreement with Laurus and
XStream (the "Letter Agreement"). In connection with the Letter Agreement,
XStream collaterally assigned both the XStream Secured Note and the XStream
Convertible Note to Laurus. Under the Letter Agreement, we agreed to pay to
Laurus $500,000 in repayment of a portion of the outstanding balance of the
XStream Secured Note by May 1, 2008. Upon making the $500,000 payment, Laurus
agreed to release certain liens it has on the inventory of BNM and XStream, and
Laurus and XStream agreed to terminate a stock pledge agreement with respect to
the stock of BNM and a master security agreement securing collateral on our
obligations under the Secured Note.

                                       16
<PAGE>

Simultaneously, and in conjunction with, the stock repurchase and the Letter
Agreement discussed above, we entered into a second amendment ("Amendment No.
2") of the XStream Secured Note. Amendment No. 2 accelerated the maturity date
of the note from March 31, 2011 to October 31, 2008 and removed the requirement
for monthly payments of $25,000. The XStream Secured Note has a principal
balance of $1,072,453 and accrued interest of $45,785 at March 31, 2008.

PREFERRED STOCK:
----------------
The Company is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock at
$0.001 par value. At March 31, 2008, there were no preferred shares issued or
outstanding.

OPTIONS:
--------
The Company recognizes amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period for each stock option grant. Total stock-based
amortization expense recognized was $145,162 and $20,225 during the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The 2008 amount includes $124,938
calculated using the Black Scholes method for 12,620,000 options granted to
employees on January 2, 2008.


(6)      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

GENERAL - The Company's commitments and contingencies include the usual
obligations which arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position and results of operations.

31, 2008; $5,198 through May 31, 2009; and $5,940 through May 31, 2011. Aqua
Maestro has a warehouse lease which requires monthly rental of $4,938 through

GUARANTY - The Company issued a non-interest bearing note in the amount of
$2,000,000 together with 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to a
creditor of BNM. The Company has guaranteed that the creditor will receive at
least $3,000,000 from the note and the stock, providing the shares are sold by
February 23, 2009. The Company also guaranteed payment of salary to two
individuals by BNM in the total amount of $134,000 for 2007 and $26,000 for

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future
events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will", "should",
"expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts",
"potential", "continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable
terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may
differ materially. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual
results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of
activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, we do not assume responsibility
for the accuracy and completeness of such forward-looking statements. We are
under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of
this Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results. Management's
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements and the notes herein.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
------------------------------------------

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we
will evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue
recognition, valuation of investments in portfolio companies, accrued expenses,
financing operations, contingencies and litigation. We will base our estimates
and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant
accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements
include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and
liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting
policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and
in the "Notes to Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

WITHDRAWAL OF ELECTION TO BE TREATED AS A BDC
---------------------------------------------

On July 13, 2007, we filed our preliminary information statement on Schedule 14C
and on October 2, 2007, we filed our definitive information statement on
Schedule 14C which was provided on behalf of our board of directors ("Board") to
record holders of shares of our common stock ("Shareholders") as of the close of
business on the record date of July 12, 2007. This information statement
provided notice that the Board has recommended, and holders of a majority of the
voting power of our common stock have voted to approve authorization to the
Board to withdraw our election to be treated as a business development company
under the 1940 Act. The action became effective upon our filing a Form N-54C
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 2, 2008.


                         OVERVIEW AND BUSINESS STRATEGY

Subsequent to the filing of the Form N-54C on January 2, 2008, the Company
intends to pursue a business model whereby it would acquire majority ownership
stakes in beverage-related companies (the "New Business Model"). In this regard,
the Company would remain active in the imported bottled water category and New
Age beverage category through its two wholly owned entities: Aqua Maestro and
Beverage Network of Maryland.

Under the New Business Model, the Company will at all times conduct its
activities in such a way that it will not be deemed an "investment company"
subject to regulation under the 1940 Act. Thus, it will not hold itself out as
being engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in
securities. In addition, the Company will conduct its business in such a manner
as to ensure that it will at no time own or propose to acquire investment
securities having a value exceeding 40 percent of the Company's total assets at
any one time.

Aqua Maestro is based in Boca Raton, FL and imports and sells bottled water
through company owned distribution to retailers and consumers in South Florida,
direct sales to retailers outside of South Florida, direct sales to consumers
generated through its website at aquamaestro.com and sales to third party
distributors.

Beverage Network of Maryland is a New Age distributor based in Jessup, Maryland
and distributes brands such as Welch's to retailers in Washington DC, Northern
Virginia, and the entire state of Maryland.

Our strategy is to grow the third party branded revenue base in each of these
entities while developing and/or acquiring bottled water or New Age beverage
brands. Thus, through these entities, we will sell our own proprietary brands as
well as third party brands.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 AND 2007
--------------------------------------------------------

Product sales and cost of product sold for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and the pro forma product sales and cost of product sold for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 as if the acquisitions of BNM and AM had occurred at
January 1, 2007 are as follows:

                                                     2008               2007

                                                                     (PRO FORMA)

Product sales                                     $2,572,256         $2,784,254

     Gross profit percentage                         33.2%              29.8%


Product sales declined $211,998 (7.6%) in 2008 as compared to 2007. This
includes $196,473 in sales by BNM. The decline in BNM sales is primarily due to
dropping a higher volume product with lower gross profit margin. This sales
decline was partially offset by sales of higher margin products and resulted in
an increase in gross profit percentage from 29.8% to 33.2% in 2008. AM sales
remained relatively stable between the years.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the pro forma
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as if the
acquisitions of BNM and AM had occurred at January 1, 2007 are as follows:

                                                            2008        2007

                                                         ==========  ==========

Operating expenses increased $135,675 (11.0%) in total. The amortization of the
intrinsic value of stock options increased $124,937 and other non-cash
compensation amounted to $78,000 for a total of $202,937 in non-cash
compensation increases. Accordingly, expenses requiring cash payments decreased
approximately $67,000 (5.4%). Professional fees have been high primarily due to
the acquisitions in 2007, the withdrawal as a BDC effective at the beginning of
2008 and negotiating debt extensions.

                                       20
<PAGE>

Interest expense was $203,633 in 2008 as compared to $66,042 in 2007. The
increase is primarily due to the debt incurred in the acquisition of BNM which
was outstanding for one month in 2007 and the full three months of 2008.

Discontinued operations consist of the operations of Rudy Beverage, Inc. for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, as discussed in Note 2.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

At March 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $7,314,783 as compared to
$6,136,234 at December 31, 2007. The increase in working capital deficit of
$1,178,549 during the 2008 quarter was primarily the result of using working
capital to acquire treasury stock in the amount of $700,000, the net loss of
$720,673 and less the increases to common stock and additional paid-in capital
in the amount of $255,053 as a result of stock and options issued.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit totaling
$35,328,582. The Company also had a net loss of $720,673 during the three months
ended March 31, 2008.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to fund operations through
debt and equity financing arrangements which management believes should be
sufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash
requirements for the next twelve months. The successful outcome of future
activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if
achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended
business plan or generate positive operating results. (See Note 1E)

Not applicable.


ITEM 4:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer has reviewed and evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) as of March 31, 2008. Based on that review and evaluation, which
included inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the CEO
concluded that the Company's current disclosure controls and procedures, as
designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to
the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is
accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However,
the Company had a personnel change in the first quarter, which did delay
completion of the information relating to the Company required to be disclosed
in reports to be filed with the SEC.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.

         services;
    o    3,000,000 shares were issued to a consultant for services to be
         performed during 2008;
    o    4,592,593 shares were issued in exchange for $31,000 in convertible
         debt; and
    o    100,000 shares were issued to a note holder of Aqua Maestro as
         consideration for delaying the due date of the note.

All shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section
4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
